I knew what you mean here, in fact, i did this on purpose. for this test failure, btrfs-prog did not output failure information from the beginning. So to make older progs can also detect the test failure, i dropped into this way. Anyway, if you don't like this and think old btrfs-progs needn't consider this, i will update the patch.^_^ Thanks, Wang > Cheers, > > Dave. > -- > Dave Chinner > david@xxxxxxxxxxxxx _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@xxxxxxxxxxx http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
